Is hardtack the most god-tier of war foods or what? Take practically an hour to make with a regular oven, only consists of flour, water, and salt, and can be kept at room temperature for decades. Tell me this wondrous biscuit isn't the best shtf food of all time.
>>
>>23806332

It's also a good way to store flour; you don't end up with those little beetle assholes sneaking into it if you do it right. Then you can just crush it down and use it like normal as needed.

I keep a bin of it in my stockpile.

According to this book right here (which you should totally buy, btw) 19th century British sailors ate hardtack 9 days of out 10. It was hard and tacky, but it provided the bulk of their sustenance and helped fuel the most powerful navy in the world at the time.

in my opinion, no. this is going to sound odd, but...

japanese foods. not stupid freezer meals, but rather straight up ingredients. most japanese ingredients (barring things like fresh fish, shrimp or chicken) have practically indefinite shelf lives and FAR more vitamins than simple hard tack.

>rice
stores for near eternity if dry and kept from pests.
>nori
basically paper made out of kelp. although it becomes slightly brittle/stale if left open, again, practically indefinite shelf life if kept dry and pest-free. Rich in iron/folate and I believe phosphate. (if unfamiliar, it's the stuff they wrap sushi in)
>katsuoboshi/bonito flakes
dried tuna. can be bought as a solid block and grated like cheese, or bough pre-shredded in air-tight packaging. If bought pre-sealed, sealed containers can last near-indefinitely. open containers go stale after a year, but are still safe to eat if dry and pest free. Notice: it's fucking fish! so here's some protein and vitamins for you.
>dashi
tuna soup stock. basically, its powdered katsuoboshi + some other things. Again: dry and pest free = lasts forever. Dashi is damn near pre-modern MSG minus all the bad health effects of the latter. Learn to use it correctly in your cooking and it can turn even the most boring shit into an awesome dish. srsly, when I'm running low on food, I can settle my hunger quick on a bowl of dashi broth and mushrooms.
>udon
udon noodles are literally just flour+salt+water. Carry flour and dashi, and you have hearty noodle soup with a protein rich broth anywhere that you can source water at.

Naturally, you can supplement this shit with whitepeople food like summer sausage (imma have to try to roll sushi with this to see how it tastes), canned meats (chicken, kippers, salmon, etc) and maybe dried citrus/rum/C tablets to prevent scurvy.

but hardtack? psssh...get that 17th century bullshit out of here. even tolkien made fun of how bad it was in the hobbit with his ficticious "cram".

>>23806332
In nordic countries, people have been using rye-based crispbread instead of hardtack. The historical reason for this was that rye is more resistant to nordic climate than wheat, and was the most common cereal grain in those areas.

Crispbread is made of rye flour, salt, and water, and can be leveled with yeast or sourdough. Unleaveled bread can be baked with crushed ice to inroduce the air pockets. Traditional crispbread is bakend in round wafers with a hole in middle.

The resulting crisbread has extremely long storage life. The bread constain airpockets, and can be eaten directly without breaking your teeth. Sourdough gives the bread distinctive flavor, and the flavor is improved when the bread is aged, Sourdough also makes the bread resistant to mold, bacteria or insects.

Finnish military rations always contain a packet of crispbread, and the bread is usually available at mess hall for each meal.

what to do with the starch skin at the bottom ?

I do have a method that only takes 10 minutes for white rice and 20 for brown

but it uses 3 cups of water per 250 grams of rice
>>
>>23807005
Soaking the rice for half an hour before cooking will soften the starch and prevent the skin on the bottom. Using a rice cooker will also prevent a starch skin.
>>
>>23807005
>>23806963

rice is water intensive regardless, i'm afraid (im the weebcook from before btw). I live east of the mississippi, so that's not a problem for me.

Concerning starch:
japanese (that is, short grain rice you use for sushi) rice at least (the only other rice I eat is cheap knorr minute rice shit) requires that you rinse it before you cook it to remove the starch. The starch makes one sick and/or farty when left in the rice. See the next paragraph(s) and learn more:

tbh, though, I may cook like a weeb, but rice is something I rarely cook (srsly, I'm actually shit at rice cooking and only do it if I'm making sushi). Jap food is largely dehydrated...it's light shit altogether. my main staples in jap food are dashi + canned meats + noodles (for innawoods). this kind of shit is like null weight + high benefits (vitamins, flavours, etc)

you want my opinion on innawoods/shtf food?

>instant rice meals
shit like knorr insta-rice shit; lasts like rice but is easier to make. "requires" oil or butter for flavour though.
>summer sausage
shit is a godsend and makes you feel like a stalker eating it. short-ish (iirc year-to-5 shelf life) shelf life, but requires no refridgeration. tastes good and makes crackers useful

jap soups and dried shit like nori (seaweed paper), wakame (seaweed shreds) and dashi + forest floor forage supplement this.

it must be noted that mr.japcook has become drunk to the point of not even being able to type in the meanwhile.
please ask simple questions in the future, and expect dissapointing answers. I play vodka king now!!!!!!!11111!!!!
I'll be lurking, but still:

look into the historical foods of ancient cultures, especially the preserved/dried foods thereof. you'll find inspiration.
as a moderner who lives in a non-wheat producing nation, hardtack just seems stupid to me though....

just because the zipperheads do it that way doesn't mean it is better. Shit, If you were going to carry loose flour and noodles and shit, just pack the ingredients to make bannock (generally premixed and ready to wet and cook) and vacuum packed dried meat like a normal person.

drunkjapcook here:

I'll agree with you to an extent for SHTF conditions, but:

instant rice is easier to make tasty and stores just as long.

jasmine/any long grain rice is wholly unsuitable for making sushi (irrelevant to shtf, but wholly relevant for the /ck/ inclined here)
>>

>>23807116
bannock seems pretty cool to be honest, but because most of my culinary knowledge is indeed inspired by zipperhead methods, I wouldn't know how to integrate that with the other ingredients I've listed.

to be wholly honest, though: if you're carrying flour and salt and have a source of water, you literally have 90% of human history's culinary arts at hand for you, so it's all good one way or another...however, turining flour into anything is almost always time consuming!

>vacuum packed dried meat
I'm a poorfag, so prepackaged asian shit and summer sausage is what I can purchase easily in comparison to a vacuum sealer.


if I could expound on anything more for overland travel, though, summer sausage is the thing! I would verily be a shill for a sausage manufacturer if it were possible!

to those gluten hipsters: kill yourselves. I knew a celiac -- he ate bread anyway because he couldn't afford hipster bread. he shat funny, but goddamn the lot of you for thinking you matter.

please...suicide is where i wish you to end up.

agree on the sausage thing. As long as it is sealed properly it will last unrefrigerated for a goodly time and it's pretty cheap. Goes a lot better with non nippon foods though. Rice goes with everything, but sausage and bannock is godtier.

erbswurst

nuff said
>>
1/2

I had some time to experiment over the thanksgiving holiday and I have to say im pretty pleased with my results -- which were 20 minute meals ready to cook that cost about 30 cent to make, give you a complete protein, fiber, complex and simple carbs and weighs just ounces on top of being flexible enough to add anything you find to it. I spent a lot of time testing and tasting the various freeze dried stuff i could get my hands on too and have developed a plan around the two. I think that might be off topic for this forum, but anyway...

I made wha i would consider 2 variations of what the germans and austrians called erbswurst, which is what the rest of the world would call a dried split pea soup, and these things are surprisingly tasty when i get done with them.

I bought dried split green peas and dried pinto beans to use as the base for each of the soup bases respectively. The green peas i proccessed into flour, incorporated chicken boullion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, thyme and lemon pepper and blended to a flour-like consistency. I mixed a quarter cup of the mixture with a quarter cup rice (did this in BIG batches and spread them out for the family to try and to save). A cup and a half of boiling water and a lid turn it into somthing surprisingly tasty. Goes ok with squirrel, chicken, salt cured bacon (fatback overwhelms though) regular bacon, and i added some wild onions and garlic i found growing about and it went well.

The second batch i made was with pinto beans. I processed them into flour, incorporated beef boullion, coffee grounds, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne and S&P. Also combined with rice by halves. A quarter cup of the mixture and 2 cups of boiling water seems to e the sweet spot. This shit was pretty good. Didn't try adding anything to it at the time because I was stuck inside, I imagine it would work very well though.

>mfw you probably don't know about pemmican
nigga, imma /k/ommando, so of course I know about pemmican...however, I've never made it. Sounds like "anti-scurvy injun jerky" to be forthright about it, though.

>Goes a lot better with non nippon foods though
oh god, naturally. japs are hard to play nice with if you know what my drunk ass means. still:
99% of jap ingredients are light weight as fuck, since they're dehydrated. I've carried 3 course meals innawoods, fed 4 and then left 5 days later feeling boss.
>pretty cheap
meh...not really. it costs as much as any meat as far as I'm concerned. It's just that it's 2 days of food per "log" + no refridgeration that sells it.
I love the flavour too, but that's an aside (and i really do want to make a sushi roll with it + wild wood sorrel...god that sounds good as fuck.)

Didn't try adding anything to it at the time because I was stuck inside, I imagine it would work very well though.

I separated all the batches into individual serving size and wrote cooking directions on the bags. I put mine in one of my bags wrapped in a rubber band in a oilskin?/plastic coated sack and i have no worries of it ever going bad.

The pros are that theyre pretty good on the nutrition scale and on the tasty scale. Theyre cheap as hell (especially considering a mountainhouse meal/entree can be anywhere from 4-7 bucks and MRE's...well, just fuck MRE's), they're lightweight and compact as can be. Theyre also flexible enough to either be eaten solo, or incorporated with almost anything you could find edible (mushrooms, onions, berries) or anything you would bring with you as you go(cornbread, bannock, hardtack, biscuits).

The cons are that they do require some attention and time to cook. 15-20 minutes (just like cooking rice) and that they lack any inherent texture (hence incorporating the freeze dried products into the plan as well)

The next couple of things im gonna try are processing the rice into flour to drastically reduce the cook time, using different carbs (grits, noodles etc), fucking around with those 50 cent gravy packets to see if i can get any good results out of them with this idea (im thinking premixed grits and gravy would be a badass meal that'd only take about 5 min to make) and when i get some time in the woods, ill boil some water, add the mix and the water to a stainless steel cup and shake, then break camp and start walking and see if itll cook through

Got pine trees? No scurvy.
Pine tree needles brewed up into a tea, add sweetener like honey, and you can stave off the effects of scurvy indefinitely.

an able bodied person making cordage for you in rear areas is an able bodied person who you don't have manning a rifle on the front.

Why have one disabled person and one abled person when i can have two abled persons?


Why dont we have people like that in the US Military?

>>
>>23806442
Hardtack tastes like a bland cracker - some salt, other than that just cooked flour.
You make it taste better by having bullion, dried onion soup mix, any dried soup or bean mix really and you soak it in that to add moisture back into it and flavor.
Makes whatever soup you're having be more filling that way.

>>23807290
You can - they taste like Pine Sol (no big surprise there), but they have 0 calories - they are like celery in that regard. They do, like I said, have an immense amount of Vitamin C in them though, so you can stave off scurvy.
Just don't get them confused with other conifers like Yew. Yew is poisonous and will make you sick at the very least, if not dead.

>Why have one disabled person and one abled person when i can have two abled persons?

you logic ignores the fact that women still exist, regardless of the fact that they are wholly inferior to men.

how do you deal with women?
they are either too weak for use, or too pregnant for movement.
how does one simultaneously deal with both combat utlity and carrying on the human species?

>Why dont we have people like that in the US Military?

the US military exists in an industrial time period where natural selection doesn't actually exist. it can expand its numbers without recruiting females/effective retards and doesn't have the same issues as a tribal society.

you need to think like the cheiftain of a tribal society moreso than platoon's barnes, because the former is who lives longer in SHTF.

cool. I knew pine bark was edible and that pine teas were a thing, but didn't know about wether the raw leaf had problematic effects. I also knew other conifers were toxic.

curious: any field experience with them? primary concern is liquid-shit (too drunk to spell dia-rea)

Women can do all the same things that your disabled person can, while still retaining mobility. Even pregnant women dont need a special chair to get around.

Pine bark is edible, pine needle tea of course, if you've ever had a pesto sauce you've had pine nuts which are edible too.
Pine needles may upset your stomach because of the taste, but nothing terribly bad. Younger needles are better than older ones, and something like as little as 20 needles has as much or more vitamin C than an orange.
If you boil them, the longer you boil them the stronger it gets. It can be used as an expectorant, decongestant, and if you let it cool, an antiseptic wash for wounds.

>>23807393
If she suffers from upset stomach easily, she can just chew the needles then spit them out, and just swallow the juice from them.
Too much pine needle or pine needle tea can cause upset stomach, but it varies widely from person to person. I've never heard of it giving someone diarrhea.
>>
>>23807393
Oh, there is one special consideration when drinking/eating pine, spruce, or some of the other needles - in women, it can act as an abortifacient (it'll cause an abortion) if they are pregnant.
>>
>>23807303
Have to be careful around Yew in general, even rainwater that runs off them is bad.
>>
>>23807480
Yeah, had a buddy who had a cousin who lost a horse who drank from a ditch near some yews after a heavy rain.
The ditch had collected the needles, and sat long enough to steep in the water.

Yew needles and berries are extremely toxic, and it's a painful way to go.

It will kill them.

It's not. You are lacking proteins and fats and fibers. Hardtack + vacuum pemmican + fruit leather + lots of water = a diet that won't clog your intestines and keep you alive.

Well, like any abortifacient that causes miscarriage, it can and probably will be painful. It is inherently dangerous to the woman, because of potential bleeding issues but generally is safe, if painful.
Like all natural abortifacients, its result vary. Some it will work on, some it may not. It is not a sure fire method.
